Cherry Studio 0.5.3

Features

[Voice] Dictate messages and read replies aloud with system voices, download SenseVoice for offline dictation, and transcribe audio files into text from the file library or an Agent tool.
[Remote Desktop] Link a computer through UU Remote and open its desktop in picture in picture, with an explicit full-screen option when picture in picture is unavailable.
[Agents] Simplify configuration with built-in tools loaded on demand, separate add/remove controls for Skills and custom MCP servers, and a scrollable editor for long instructions.
[Translation] Choose the target language before translating a message and quickly collapse its translation.
[Office] Inspect Word, Excel and PowerPoint structure, validate generated and edited file packages, and distinguish missing formula caches from saved results and worksheet errors.

[Markdown] Fix blank display formulas in Android production builds.
[Images] Reduce memory pressure when decoding large images and importing multiple HEIC images on iOS.
[Navigation] Remember the last-used local Agent on startup, falling back when it no longer exists.
[Models] Show free-model badges in synchronization previews.
[Agent Editor] Keep Skill/MCP management actions in the sheet footer, add loading and empty states, and limit Skill descriptions to two lines.
[Office] Correct slide-master content-type declarations in generated multi-slide presentations.
[Diagnostics] Improve initialization failure diagnostics and preserve saved consent when capture is temporarily unavailable, while retaining explicit opt-out cleanup.

[Agent Runtime] Upgrade Pi to 1.5.0.
[Native Runtime] Align dependencies with Expo 58.0.22 and React Native 0.88.1, and update Sentry and native compatibility patches.
[Builds] Stabilize the local EAS toolchain, Sentry build configuration, module export resolution and YAML scanner error handling.

Install this version to receive the native changes; a JavaScript update alone cannot deliver all features and fixes.
Voice input is off by default. Enable it in Settings → Voice. Offline recognition requires a separate model download of about 240 MB; system recognition and voices depend on device services and may use the network.
Built-in Agent capability switches have been retired. System permissions, consent and tool approvals still apply; Skills and custom MCP servers retain per-Agent bindings.
Remote desktop requires UU Remote 4.42.0 or later on the phone and UU Remote configured on the computer. iOS picture in picture also requires iOS 18 or later and supported hardware.
